Sergio waited left and right, but Abigail didn't come. His stomach growled with hunger."Grandpa..." Jaeden entered the room once again.Sergio Lucero suddenly perked up and eagerly asked, "Has Abby arrived?"Where are the people?How come I didn't see it?Looking out, there were the silhouettes of several bodyguards outside.They formed a human wall, and from the gaps between their shoulders, it could be seen that there were many people standing outside.Sergio's spirit deflated all of a sudden, like a deflated balloon."It is a small company that I have never heard of before. I heard that you are here to recuperate, so I came to visit you specially...""It was said not to meet!"Sergio was very impatient with this group of people. "Did Ronan say when he would arrive?"It was already half past twelve and there was still no sign of anyone!"Mr. Lucero took Mrs. Lucero out for lunch, and they will be back after they finish eating."Jaeden saw the delicious dishes in front of Sir Lucero
"Abigail!"Marlene couldn't help but speak up, "You, you..."Abigail heard a voice, turned around and glanced at her with a sense of detachment and indifference. In just a second, she withdrew her gaze and obediently followed Jaeden inside.Other people didn't know about their relationship, but when the Guzman family met this girl, they were all impressed!The Guzman family, while feeling superior, couldn't help but speculate how Abigail managed to get in...How could she have known such a big shot like Sergio?"Grandfather."Abigail politely greeted as soon as she entered the ward."Baby Abby, you finally arrived! Grandpa has been eagerly waiting for you, and finally, he has seen you!"As Sergio motioned for her to sit down, he couldn't help but wonder, "Why are you the only one here? Where is Ronan?""He had to go back to the company temporarily.""This stinky kid!"Sergio secretly got angry, needless to say, this brat must have gotten tired of Abby! It's only been a few days and he
Gina was extremely jealous and couldn't help but slander, "They were in there for so long just now, I wonder what they were doing inside... Maybe something unsavory.""Gina!"Marlene, of course, guessed what was going on, but Sergio's bodyguard was still ahead. If he accidentally overheard, it would only make matters worse for the Guzman family!Gina bit her lower lip and unwillingly watched the figure in front of her...If the person supporting Sergio was her... how wonderful it would be!Fifteen minutes later.The car arrived in front of a tranquil and elegant villa.This was Sergio's residence, occupying over ten thousand square meters.The black tiles were matched with white exterior walls, emitting a faint ancient fragrance. The wooden railings and windows showcased a grand atmosphere, while the roof adopted a flying eaves design. The overall symmetrical layout was stable and balanced.With a touch of classical temperament, yet not lacking in gentle charm, it is named "Creek Gard
"Do we need to report this to Mr. Pennington?"Abigail raised her lips, "I heard that Mr. Pennington was often absent from the company. I wonder if I, as the new and short-term company manager, can inquire about it?"Marcel pulled out a chair and sat proudly in front of Abigail. "If I had to keep an eye on every little thing in the company, I would have been exhausted a long time ago. Ms. Abigail, as the new official, you have no idea how much there is to do in the company...""So, where did Mr. Pennington go when he wasn't at the company?""Talking to the CEOs of other companies, meeting with suppliers, how come, Ms. Abigail wants to manage this too?""Of course."Abigail raised a smile at the corner of her lips and said, "When it comes to discussing business and making deals, it's important to ask for clarification, otherwise it would be considered an unjustified absence from work.""Huh."Marcel smiled and said, "So, Ms. Abigail means that I had to be at my workplace every day?""N
"Yes."Jaeden knew that Sir Lucero intended to leave and respectfully agreed.This attitude was so close to directly kicking the person out!Courtney didn't expect Sergio's attitude towards her to make a complete 180-degree turn after he got involved with Abigail.The face turned extremely embarrassed.Although Jaeden pretended to entertain her on the surface, she couldn't bear to stay any longer, her face burning with anger.Abigail, that country bumpkin, should have caused all sorts of trouble.How could it be possible to deeply please Grandfather?!How did they manage to do it? To gain recognition in such a short period of time..."Since grandpa was busy, I will come another day."Courtney stood up and left the greeting, "Please ask Jaeden to deliver these things to grandpa for me.""The doctor said that Sir Lucero couldn't benefit from tonics, he didn't need these things."Jaeden respectfully spoke up, "Miss Courtney, it would be better to take yourself back to honor your parents.
After finishing their meal, Sergio took Abigail to visit various places and finally arrived at the top floor for a panoramic view."It was getting dark, and the faraway places were no longer visible. It's even more beautiful during the day, where you can see pretty flowers, grass, a small stream, and the distant mountains. Abby, you must come and see it when you have time.""Okay."Abigail checked the time and said softly, "It's getting late, I should go back.""Don't go..." Sergio hesitated, "Can you stay a little longer?""I will come to see you again next time."Seeing Abigail about to leave, Sergio quickly winked at Jaeden. Jaeden understood immediately and secretly instructed someone to prepare.Abigail was being led by Ronan when they just took the elevator to the living room on the first floor, and all the lights in the entire villa went out."What happened?"Sergio knew the consultant and asked, "Why did the power go out all of a sudden?""It's really strange, we have been liv
"Mainly, Sir had already talked to Mr. Baldwin in advance, and Mr. Baldwin also agreed!"Jaeden added.Abigail: ??Did her father agree?!It's impossible!!"This is a voice message sent by your father."Sergio opened WhatsApp and played it for her to listen to."Sir, you're joking. Abby is with you, so I have no reason to worry. In that case, I won't leave the door for her tonight..."Anyway, sooner or later, she would be a member of the Lucero family, and Sergio had also promised that he wouldn't let her stay in the same room as Ronan. He just liked Abby and wanted her to stay at Creek Garden for one night.There were dozens of servants at Creek Garden, with so many pairs of eyes watching, it was impossible for anything to happen.With the words said, Kevin couldn't refuse either and could only turn a blind eye.Abigail: ...I didn't expect my biological father to agree so hastily, and I was speechless for a moment."Ronan, you took Abby to the room on the south side of the third flo
The sound of dripping water came from the bathroom, and a tall figure was reflected on the glass door.Abigail didn't notice this scene. She opened her phone to deal with personal matters. After a while, she heard the bathroom door open, and then she casually looked up.Ronan's hair was wet, and he was wearing white pajamas. He exuded a strong masculine scent all over his body.Just then, Abigail's phone rang. It was a long string of numbers, different from a regular mobile number.She withdrew her gaze and calmly answered, "Go ahead."The person on the phone didn't know what to say. Abigail went to the balcony and said, "So?"Not long after, a pair of hands embraced her from behind, and Ronan's breath gently brushed against her ear, causing a strange tickling sensation.He greedily rubbed against the scent surrounding her ears, like a clingy cat.Abigail could feel his scorching temperature, especially in a certain place. She said to the person on the phone, "I got it, um, I hung up.
Courtney was stunned for a few seconds, as if frozen in place."Can you, like her, accept her in front of your parents and brother? Just as she accepted you?"Riley saw her lost in thought and patted her head, "Think about what big brother said tonight before going to bed. I hope that next time he comes home, he can see a different you."Riley's biological clock was still accurate. There were only three minutes left until his bedtime. He stood up and did not make any exceptions for anyone.Before he left, he specifically said, "If I were you, I would cherish everything in front of me, not wait until it's lost to regret it."Courtney looked at him in astonishment."Goodnight," Riley took a step and left the terrace.Seeing Riley leave, Janet, who was hiding in the dark, quickly appeared and said, "Miss Courtney, are you alright?"She had secretly followed Riley since she went to find Miss Courtney just now.I thought Rile
Due to significant damage to their central nervous system, as well as respiratory tract infections, anemia, disturbances of water and electrolyte balance, and other conditions, my grandparents required multiple medications.She first prepared the medicine she needed to take for the next three days, grinding them into powder for easy mixing with water.Unconsciously, it was already 8:30 in the evening and I had been busy.Riley and others were in the lush courtyard, raising their watches and looking towards the direction of the gate, but they never saw the figure of their sister returning home.Did she go out for something? Is she going to see that doctor?I don't know whether that doctor was a man or a woman. If it was a man, going alone so late, would my sister be taken advantage of?At this moment, Marilyn approached respectfully and reported, "Riley, the daisies you ordered have been planted. Would you like to go up and take a look?"
Riley suddenly became curious about her sister's position in the medical field. She wondered how her sister could come up with a solution to such a difficult medical condition in an instant.As is well known, the most skilled doctor internationally was Elian. It was said that his medical skills were extraordinary, capable of bringing the dead back to life. However, he was elusive, and no one knew his whereabouts.Since my grandparents were admitted to the ICU, he had sent people multiple times to inquire about Elian's whereabouts, hoping to ask him to come forward and save my grandparents.Some people said that he had already died, while others said that he had once appeared at Secret Delta. Whether these pieces of information are reliable or not, nobody knows.Did my sister learn her medical skills from Elian?If it was true, then surely the grandparents would be saved!"Abby, you seem so confident in that doctor's medical skills. It seems
"Abby, you saved your grandmother! In such a short time, you brought her back from the brink of death! You are truly amazing!" Kevin was extremely excited and wanted to hug her.To our surprise, Lauryn hugged her daughter first and said, "Great, your grandmother is fine! She scared us just now!"I'm afraid something might have happened to her elderly lady...I didn't expect my daughter's medical skills to be so brilliant.No wonder Sergio always praised her excellent medical skills before.It turns out that it was not that the old person favored Abby, but Abby really had the ability!Her medical skills were really superb!The decisiveness, calmness, and wisdom she displayed during the process of rescuing someone just now were truly impressive!Abigail was suddenly embraced by her mother, a feeling of being loved, pampered, and valued that she had never experienced from childhood to adulthood."If your grandmother woke up
"Mom, why don't you take Courtney out for a walk?" Riley reminded.Lauryn, also feeling heavy-hearted from her crying, stood up and pulled Courtney, "Courtney, let's go outside."Don't disturb grandparents' rest.When Courtney stood up, she pretended to be unsteady and threw herself into Lauryn's arms. "Mom, when will grandpa and grandma wake up? I'm so worried, I feel so uneasy... I feel dizzy, I can barely stand.""I know you're filial." Lauryn patted her back. "Mom believes that your grandparents are good people, and they will definitely recover soon.""I'm going to talk to the doctor," Kevin said. He couldn't control his emotions several times and stood up with red eyes, taking the first step out of the ward.When there were only the two siblings left in the ward, Riley asked softly, "Can you still take a pulse?"Abigail was taken aback for a moment, but she answered truthfully, "I know a little.""What went wrong with that
"Hello," Abigail nodded slightly to show politeness.The head nurse took one look and noticed that this young lady's demeanor appeared even more noble than Courtney's. Could she possibly be a relative of the Baldwin family?He seemed to come from a prestigious family, well-mannered, and there was no trace of the fragility and stubbornness that Courtney exuded. It was evident that he was someone who understood the bigger picture."Did Mom and Dad wake up today?" Lauryn asked with a glimmer of hope, although she knew the chances were extremely low."Sir Baldwin and Madam Baldwin had not woken up yet. In the past three days, their condition has not been very good..."The daily monitoring data and doctor's advice would be updated in the background of a software every day for Kevin and Lauryn to check at any time.Lauryn also noticed in the past few days that the data of the two elderly people has been gradually declining. The doctor's comment wa
After work, Riley brought Abigail to Mosley Hospital and parked the car in the VIP garage. Just as they got out of the car, they saw their motorhome approaching from a distance and parking in the spot next to theirs.This floor was exclusively for their family, the VIP floor where vehicles of other patients' families were not allowed to enter, ensuring excellent privacy.Kevin helped Lauryn out of the car while Courtney pretended to still be in pain from her previous fall and also asked her father for assistance.As soon as Courtney got out of the car, she immediately held Kevin's left hand and Lauryn's right hand, and said with a smile, "Big brother, sister, you're here too?"Riley's gaze fell on her arm, and she said, neither lightly nor heavily, "If someone didn't know, they would think that our parents are only yours. We are all grown-ups, yet still so childish."This is childish, I don't know if it means she is naive and loves to act coquettis
"Um." Riley finally picked up the coffee and took a sip.Abigail also picked up the cup and tasted it, "Not bad."At this moment, someone brought the snack cabinet and snacks again. Jaylin personally organized them and said, "Ms. Abigail, Mr. Baldwin usually doesn't eat snacks. If there are any that don't suit your taste, you can tell me, and I won't have them delivered next time.""Okay." Abigail usually doesn't eat snacks, but seeing her older brother being so thoughtful, her heart still feels warm.Jaylin sorted the snacks into different categories and labeled them with tags such as nuts, spicy strips, cookies, candies, pastries, potato chips, and so on. She then stuck the labels on them to make it easier for Abigail to find them next time.Brent on the side watched with drooling mouth, almost envious to the point of tears. He also wished he had such a domineering and gentle older brother...After Jaylin finished his work, Riley asked him
Noon.The employees who were eating in the cafeteria were so shocked when they saw Riley and Abigail appear that they couldn't even hold their forks steady.Hasn't Mr. Baldwin left yet?Did you still stay at the company and have lunch with Ms. Abigail?Did Mr. Baldwin really like Ms. Abigail, as rumored?But between them, there was at least a six or seven-year age difference!Is this considered an older bull eating tender grass?"He spoke to Ms. Abigail so gently."Riley bent down to listen to Abigail speaking, then nodded and said something to the cafeteria staff. They helped Abigail with her meal, first bringing it to the table and making her sit in her seat to wait."Mr. Baldwin was such a gentleman! He helped Ms. Abigail serve her meal first before serving his own, without any hesitation or inconvenience.""Abby!!"At this moment, Makenna prepared the meal and saw Abigail sitting alone at the dining tab
